Pole Pilots & Pole Lending.
We NEVER lend poles to non-members.
We generally do not lend poles to youth athletes during HS
season.
Athletes who do not attend at least one vault AND one
running workout per week during pre- or post- HS season
are not eligible for out of town travel support or for any pole
loans.
We have a "you break it you bought it" policy for any poles
used at an event without direct supervision of certified club
coaches (e.g. Croissant or Willits).
Why?
We expect high schools to provide appropriate equipment
for their athletes.
We find it nearly impossible to choose who gets a pole in
cases that multiple athletes need the same equipment.
The implied liability, especially if a non-member uses club
equipment without appropriate supervision, is inappropriate.
